Pete is a good professor. His class is pretty straight forward. He tends to "leave planet Earth" and talk entire class nonstop on philosophical matters, which was putting me to sleep. But he shows that he cares about the subject and the students, and also grades everything himself - which is a great plus!

This is a great class to take if you're planning on law school and need an easy A or A+ to boost your GPA.

There's a take-home midterm and take-home final, both with a wide variety of prompts to choose from. Don't do any reading until exam week - just pick a prompt, do all the reading that's relevant to that prompt, and ignore the rest. Show that you've done the readings by citing them heavily on the exam and it's hard not to do well. I got an A+ with pretty minimal effort.

Stacey does his best to keep the material interesting, but it's a bit dry unless humanism or political theory is your thing. Do go to class - it's super helpful for the exams and he takes attendance two or three times a quarter.

I took 128A with Stacey spring 2011. He seems like a pretty chill guy. Lectures can be a bit boring. I went to class everyday, but rarely paid attention. Regardless, take home midterm and take home final. Never went to office hours. Ended up with an A+.

Professor Stacey is amazing. I took History 191C with him, and enjoyed both the course material and the discussions. The class is basically made up of one presentation which is 30% of the grade, and 15-20 page paper which is 70% of the grade. I thought his grading was fair, not tough at all. Overall, highly recommended professor.
